You know what I just realized... I don't see POTC advertised on TV anymore. Thats how I found out about the game in the first place. I would see the commercials on TV during my Kids TV programs. Is this a sign that they totally gave up on this?

Imagine the possibilities as to what they could add!!! I mean they were 3 movies made! Can't they generate some new ideas from them to add to the game?!?!?!!!

Give us something new already!

I think that the big D did not expect the game to take off like it did and the ppl to play as hard as we have. We started playing and we were hooked i mean 7 days a week every hour we r able to play we are on playing. We caught up with them now, they cant stay up with us. I really dont know but ,it was a kitty thought.

I have made this point before... my guild is made of me and all 95+ MIA members! the arrival/departures thread has seen quite a few of us leave the game because of the repetition of things/ lack of content, you name it they have left... my guild died before Boss Battle arrived. most got tired of waiting for the thing to arrive.

TT has a bank, a house, a pet, among other things. why not US!! we pay the same!!

I hope that Devs really read the threads here and get a hint...

Having the GM's show up in events is a great way to get ideas and do a market research for FREE!! they get to listen our demands.

In real life they could not care less about any of us fools that pay want or deserve.

I feel like I'm getting that promise of a gift that will never get. A fool's hope.

I even was under the belief that they were rushing things and letting those countless bugs that got reported during "the last push" with the new bosses and all.

I was wrong!! A drowning man's effort.... trying to save itself by any means necessary. Unfortunately as a former lifeguard... those efforts are usually the last ones.

Don't want to be negative towards them, always trying to stay positive, but its exceedingly difficult as time passes. Test has some new fixes posted, so we are making some progress there. Maybe the devs took some deserved holiday time off. Of course we continue to "play" through the holiday so we dont always take that into consideration.
Still looking forward to POTCO's future, just hoping we dont have to wait too much longer before we see some of these promised ideas implemented.
They sure have been posting more of our comments as mine was approved and posted in the Grog Blog this morning. It was definitely not all positive (see below).

The Feast was a good place to meet some new friends and grab some pork tonic. However, the LAG was terrible...even with a high end video card. I just hope there are some major updates coming to the game SOON.

Im still holding out for a big update when the UK verision is released. If people let there subscriptions go they just turn limited. If the new content comes all those people have to do is upgrade and they have all their base back. Im holding out with my opinion that when UK comes out we all will get the upgrade.

All of the pirates merchandise is pretty much out of the retailers right now maybe a few things here and there on th sale rack, they are getting ready for some kind of relaunch revamp. Pirates are too popular to just end it. Disney is famous for reinventing its products over and over.

Disney is also notorius for running there online stuff at a snails pace, apparently it does not matter to them cause toontown had a large gap before a few new things were added. They will get there, in their time, thats how they do things.

They know the fan base they have with pirates and they are counting on people comming back when they do update, and you know what, they will.

Just this humble pirates opinion.

Aye aye, Basil. Come to think of it, I have been getting bored with the game lately. Been spending more time on the forums and our guild sites. Somehow, I still keep at least a little interest in the game, I really dont know how!
Could it be the awesome guild i'm in just keeps me interested?
Could it be I have to be active because I'm a co-guildmaster
Could it be I have to be active to keep our guild on top of the leaderboards

It could be all of these! But the main reason is like what I said in a post before. As long as my GM, and my guild stay active. I will stay active too!!!

Suggestions for people getting bored with game:
-Help out random pirates with any help they may need
-Do what I do, wave to everyone, and then start talking
-Swap servers a ton to meet different players
-Always ask if your guild needs help. To me, nothing feels better then helping another pirate in need
-Get your guild on the leaderboards. As a pirate, you always wanna try to aim for the top!
-Have fun, its a game, do all you can do to figure out the "glitches" and "tricks" to the game

The big get bigger and the small get smaller. Before the guild max was raised we couldn't guild anyone for a very long time coz we were full, and after the last update which didn't make that much difference anyways coz I know last month we had to do a huge cleanup on guildlist to delete the inactive members in Emerald Sea Gang when we had over 490 members just to make room. 2 guilds that have folded have came to ESG recently. The sad part about all this is about 200 members were deleted, some were founder accts too. That's how many ppl who have lost interest in the game to continue playing... this is coming from the 6th oldest guild in the game, founded on the day the game was launched...

I got 2 lvl 40's with all weapons & almost all quests done, only thing still missing is last half of the Spanish SvS quest for one of my pirates. I'm not making any more masters even tho my next closest is lvl 28, lately I've just been making holiday pirates for fun, helping guildmates, & collecting/errr TRYing to plunder my last missing treasures on my 40s.

Probably even less.
I agree with everything here except this.
There is a guild(I wont mention a name unless you ask me to) that has the total amount of members a guild can have.
Yes, there are 500 hundred people in this guild. There is even a site for this guild.(wont mention)

But I think things like small guilds should be fixed. Disney, how about an update that will let us combine guilds and pick a name for it?

EDIT: Also I do have a warning for the POTCO staff if they ever read anything here. If any of them rush this big second story quest and it stinks...then they should expect a lot of members quitting.

MAC,
There is no need for an update to combine guilds. If there are 2 or more small guilds that are dying out, they just need to form a new guild, and everyone join. Either that, or ask one of the other guilds to absorb them. There are quite a few good guilds out there, and some would be happy to have new members. ( See other post I have quoted here!)

As to the last part of your statement, it is obvious that they AREN"T rushing the next story update. That's what all the commotion is about. No new content coming out.

As far as there being a guild with max members, there are more than just one!! They also have lost members, and have added new members by picking up from other guilds that have crashed! See Angel's comment, which I have quoted here. Just because there are a few guilds that are still doing well, doesn't mean that EVERYONE is doing well. One stock can double in value on the same day the entire market loses 500 points. Doesn't make it a good day on Wall Street!

Angel,
ESG is truely one of the special cases. But, you admitted in your post, that they had to delete about 200 inactive members, and some were game founders. Just last night, another guild announced that they are folding, and they were once a very large, well known and respected guild. But, Even with a membership of near 500 members, how many are TRUELY active? Play daily, or at least 4 times a week? How many are ingame at any single moment? And has this gotten to be less and less over the past couple of months? Having 500 names in the guild list is one thing, but if only 60 of them play on a regular basis, when 160 had played before, that is what this is all about.

Agree

I entirely agree, Disney has kept many of our masters not entertained! alot of the members who play are Pirate Masters and are extremely bored. Is this what Disney has really came to?

Basil,
Just because they haven't technically offically announced that no new stuff is coming out, doesn't mean they aren't working on it. Yes, the whole purpose of this thread was to basically rant about Disney not coming out with any new updates, or about no incentive to keep their diehards around, but like Ben said....

& I couldn't agree with you more Ben. Disney will give us more chapters and quests and so on, but don't count on it being any time soon, unfortunately.

This is the problem, many people have not even reached the area yet others did 6 months ago.

People with full maxed out accounts 6 months ago, have left, or reached their boiling point of nothing soon.

They have had 6 months and more to pick and choose and work on something. By no means, is this a new situation at all.

I agree with you Ben. Why would they stop advertising a product like this without a reason???
Also they may be taking a long time with these updates.....but really if its taking so long and you guys can't wait....why continue to play hour and hours without end? I know Disney is taking a while with these updates but you need to realize they aren't just focusing ALL of their time into this one game....and even if a lot of people quit its their choice in the end when they want to release stuff, just ends up either hurting or helping them in the end....and in this case its hurting them.

Ku-dos Sven!! There are a few countless people in the game that complain, and rant 24/7 about not having enough to do in the game, well hmm.... heres an idea: maybe if you weren't on the game ALL the time you could take your time with things and not run out of things to do so quickly....
The game isn't made to be played 24/7. Heck the game even says it "If you have been playing for more than two hours, you should take a break!"
